ADVANCED ELECTRICAL PROTECTION

Product catalog summary
Overview
Crouzet offers a range of electrical protection solutions for aerospace and military applications, including circuit breakers and power distribution units. These products are designed for reliability, efficiency, and customization, suitable for aircraft, helicopters, and land vehicles.
Wire Protection
Circuit breakers prevent electrical faults, with Solid State Circuit Breakers (SSCB) using sensors and microcontrollers, and Electromechanical Circuit Breakers using bi-metal components for overload protection.
Arc and Ground Fault Protection
Arc Fault Circuit Breakers (AFCBs) and Ground Fault Circuit Breakers (GFCBs) enhance safety by detecting arcing and ground faults, crucial for protecting fuel tanks and critical wiring systems.
High Shock and Vibration Breakers
These breakers are designed to withstand high shock and vibration, suitable for high-stress environments like aircraft.
Specifications
SSCBs are available for 28 VDC and 115 VAC applications, incorporating microcontrollers and data buses. High-performance thermal circuit breakers meet military standards for shock and vibration.
Procedures
SSPCs can be operated via a laptop/tablet or Utilities Management System (UMS) using CAN bus. RCCBs are designed for at least 100,000 cycles with a unique contact design.
Norms and Standards
Products adhere to MIL-STD-202G and other standards, ensuring reliability in military applications. Selection guides are provided for various standards and ratings.
Recommendations
Consider SSPC solutions for cost efficiency and use high shock and vibration circuit breakers to avoid additional mounting requirements.
Key Features
SSPCs offer functionalities like relay, gradator, chopper, and ground fault detection. RCCBs combine contactor and circuit breaker functions with a mechanical trip indicator.
Innovations
Crouzet's customizable circuit breaker panels are lightweight and efficient, with flexible bus bars for installation flexibility.
Environmental and Mechanical Characteristics
Components are tested for salt spray, humidity, and temperature ranges from -60°C to +125°C. Mechanical specifications include operating force and endurance cycles.
Electrical Characteristics
Specifications include breaking current capacities, dielectric strength, and insulation resistance. Voltage drop compliance is noted with specific EN standards.
Data Summary
Tables and diagrams provide detailed part numbers, ratings, and configurations for various circuit breaker models, including mass and MTBF values.
Installation and Usage
Instructions for installation include power connections, ground connections, and CAN bus integration, emphasizing small currents for in-house power.
Contact Information
Contact details for InnoVista Sensors™ are provided for various regions.

| | ELECTRICAL PROTECTION & DISTRIBUTION | | ELECTRICAL PROTECTION & DISTRIBUTION WIRE PROTECTION HOW DOES IT WORK? ELECTROMECHANICAL CIRCUIT BREAKERS SOLID STATE CIRCUIT BREAKERS (SSCB) In this type of Circuit Breaker, the current sensing is done by a bi-metal. The bi-metal is also part of the actuator that will open the line: the bi-metal is bent by heat coming from the current, the bi-metal moves the key lock, releases the latch and opens the line. In this type of Circuit Breaker, the current sensing is done by a shunt or a Hall sensor in DC or a Current Transformer (CT) in AC. A microcontroller...
